A very pleasant
gathering of relatives and friends met at the Charles Ewert home
Sunday to help Mr. and Mrs. Ewert observe their 50th wedding
anniversary which was observed Sunday instead of Tuesday, April
17th, the correct day, because some of their children would have
been unable to attend then.

Mr. Ewert was born
in Germany October 23, 1875 and came with his parents to the United
States when he was 6 years old. He can still recall a few special
happenings in his childhood in Germany and distinctly remembers his
trip over in the boat.

Mrs. Ewert,
formerly Emma Voth, was born September 9, 1882 on a farm in the
Town of Unity. The Ewerts were married in the church at Romeo April
17, 1901 and for years lived on the farm where Mrs. Ewert was born.
It was here that their five children were born.

They have two
daughters, Mrs. Irene Lynn of Wausau, and Mrs. George Strohman of
Marshfield, and three sons, Edwin of Wausau, Myron of Madison and
Walter of Fond du Lac. They also have eight grandchildren and three
great grandchildren.

In 1908 they moved
from the Town of Unity to a farm which they purchased in the Town
of Brighton. In 1942 they retired and moved to the village. Two
years ago they built a new home on the east side where they now
live.

Out of town
friends and relatives who attended the celebration were Mr. and
Mrs. Edwin Ewert and sons, Wausau; Mrs. Irene Lynn and Mr. and Mrs.
Gilbert Jaeger, Wausau; Mr. and Mrs. Myron Ewert and son, Madison;
Mrs. George Strohman and daughter, Marshfield; and Mr. and Mrs.
Oscar Ewert of Marshfield, Mr. and Mrs. Paul Greening, Mr. and Mrs.
Earl Ringquist, Mr. and Mrs. Herman Krause and Mrs. Tillie Manthe,
Spencer and Mr. and Mrs. Frank Meyer of Colby.

There were a large
number from the village who attended and a dinner was served at 4
p.m. Mr. and Mrs. Ewert were presented with a purse of money and
several gifts among which were a gold fish hook and spinner for Mr.
Ewert, who spends much of his time fishing. Mrs. Ewert’s
health keeps her confined to her home much of the time.
